Windows 11, single monitor (currently), using latest (non_beta) full/paid version of Display Fusion (from Steam). in the latest version, using the Tile setting for wallpapers, it has large gaps of black around each tiled image (taking up the rest of the screenspace). Instead of being tiled seamlessly (as it had previously), it now only fits 2 tiles of the image onscreen with huge empty gaps of black between each tiled copy of the chosen image. It is as if it doesn't know to "crop" the image based on its actual dimensions... This issue persists regardless of the "stretch small images" setting being on/off. Is this issue fixed in the beta version or is something else causing the issue?
UPDATE: This appears to be caused by lowering the *scale* of the image when set to Tile mode. In past versions, lowering the scale values of the image would just shrink the individual images while increasing the "tiles" that would fit on the desktop, Now, lowering the scale values shrinks the image, but leaves them 'centered' where they are (instead of bringing them closer together) and instead leaves a black 'border' that matches their original (100% scale) dimensions. To explain it another way, it seems to 'lock' each tiled image 'in place' (centered where they would appear at 100% scale). When lowering the scale value, the tiles images shrink, *but remain centered in their original coordinates* (leaving a lot of empty space between them). To test this, pick an image to use as a wallpaper, set it to Tile, and lower the scale values of it.
I've attached a few screenshots of the wallpaper preview and the associated scaling settings. Note how the image shrinks as I lower the scaling, but it leaves a black 'filler' space between the original and the tiled image copies. I've not encountered this issue on an older version of DF, so I am not sure which update caused this behaviour.
UPDATE 2: The same problem happens *in reverse* when you *increase* the scale value of tiled images. Above 100%, they "overlap" over each other as they seem 'fixed' in place (instead of all tiles increasing in size and adjusting their positions onscreen). Also, the Tile option doesn't seem to be functioning correctly anymore. In the past, it would infinitely tile the images horizontally/vertically. Now, it seems to only create 3 'tiles' of the image (with the original being the leftmost 'tile'). This can be checked by adjusting the horizontal/vertical allignment values, and seeing that there are no more tiled images to the left, and no more to the right after the 3rd tile. Very unusual behaviour, did not see this until I update from my older version (from at least a year ago XD). I've attached another screenshot to show this unusual bug.

We were able to reproduce this here so we've added it to our list to look into.
Thanks!

Thank you!!! I thought I was going crazy, as I have not seen this issue mentioned anywhere else so far.
